There\u2019s a 68% chance that there will be no dissenters in tomorrow\u2019s Federal Reserve interest rate decision, as new Chair Kevin Warsh gears up for his first presser at the helm. And if there is formal disagreement amongst the committee, participants in the Interactive Brokers prediction market believe that there\u2019s a greater likelihood of less rather than more, with the odds declining as the threshold increases from 1 to 2 to 3. There\u2019s close to a 100% probability that the US central bank will hold its benchmark steady, although the curve points to a hike being the most likely outcome at year-end relative to pausing or cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Strong Retail Sales Print Expected<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Participants in the Interactive Brokers Prediction Market expect another strong retail sales publication to be released following last month\u2019s 0.5% print. Consumer spending has been resilient in the face of persistent inflation accompanied by rising interest rates and despite those headwinds, investors anticipate that the buoyancy will continue. Indeed, the odds of exceeding April\u2019s figure of 0.5% are 61%, while above and below there is a 13% likelihood of a number north of 1% and a 7% chance of a reading that comes in south of 0.1%.
This indicator <\/p>\n\n\n\n

carries an elevated deviation rate, meaning that it has a greater potential than normal of coming in significantly off from the consensus range, or in other words, it offers a loftier probability of a substantial surprise. Emblematic of the historical variability, the 57 forecasters in the monthly Reuters poll stand at a median of 0.5% against the backdrop of minimum and maximum projections of -0.1% and 0.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
